Steam Sheriff in Chrome with OffiDocs

DESCRIPTION

Steam Sheriff helps gamers using the Steam platform by checking URLs as they are visited to see if they are potentially impersonating a 'brand'.

Malware/Phishing actors make websites that closely resemble a 'brand'.

For example, the legitimate Steam website is www.

steamcommunity.

com.

Phishers leverage 'homograph' attacks to trick you to clicking a URL that you think you trust.

So, st3amcommunity.

com or steamcomunity.

com might look legitimate to a human, but very different for a computer.

In order to detect these attacks, Steam Sheriff uses a combination of techniques to find out the 'similarity' of a target compared to a white list.

This whitelist are common websites collected from feedback from the community that have also been used in attacks in the past.

The list is as follows: 'gyazo.

com', 'flickr.

com', 'imgur.

com', 'photobucket.

com', 'tinypic.

com', 'dota2lounge.

com', 'csgolounge.

com', 'steamcommunity.

com', 'csgoticket.

com', 'csgojackpot.

com', 'csgoskins.

net', 'mumble.

info', 'teamspeak.

com', 'raidcall.

com', 'ventrilo.

com' This list will be updated periodically as the tactics of the phishers change.

**NOTE** There might be issues with steamcommunity and websites that use akamai where it wont load resources if its being loaded by content distribution networks (CDNs).

If something breaks, please e-mail the contact e-mail listed on this extension page or the warning page.

Features: - 'Real-time' detection of potential phishing websites - Option menu when a website is potentially bad - 'Continue Once' which allows the website to be visited for 5 minutes before Steam Sheriff alerts on it again - 'Continue & Whitelist' which adds the website to a user-defined whitelist if there is a false positive.

This gets cleared if Chrome browser data is cleared - 'Get me out of here!' Redirect to google.
